Jand, a bit to busy to pay attention to the fog continues his battle against the Centipedes

———————a fog was covering the sky.

"What......." Estelle muttered in horror as she stared at the sky, towards the direction of the Flugel's Tree, where a massive white fog was being produced from. Another screech followed, and Estelle for a moment thought she saw a shadow of something moving through the air around the massive tree.

She immediately took out the communication handmirror magic item in her pocket and opened it—and across the mirror, a face of a massive wolf-man came into vision.

"Rujeld! Report!"

"Lady Estelle! It's the White Whale! Permission to engage!" The leader of the Iron Fangs, the wolf-man Rujeld, shouted back.

Estelle gritted her teeth. "Granted! I, along with reinforcements, will head there immediately! Do not let the whale close onto the town!"

Rujeld nodded over the mirror, then his image disappeared. Right now, Siegfried, Rujeld, the ability-user Isaac, the mage unit and the riders of Iron Fangs were there; hopefully they could hold up against the witchfiend before she, Fourier, Rathius and James could arrive at the scene.

"Fourier, James! White Whale's appearance is confirmed! We will depart as soon as we find Rathius!"

"Lady Estelle, what should I——" Angela turned to the woman, who shook her head.

"Angela, go help the battle against «Gluttony» at the South—Lucian will arrive soon from the North gate. Leave the enemy to the other knights; we will depart!"

At the same time Fourier arrived with James on his back. Estelle jumped on behind the yeti, and Fourier took off, leaping onto the roofs and heading towards the South gate, Angela following from the air.

* * *

Carol stared dumbfounded into the air, as the fog started to materialise from the direction of the Flugel's Tree.

.........The White Whale.

One of the Three Greatest Witchfiends, a monster amongst monsters which had slain her master Siegfried's wife, the former Sword Saint.
Such creature had been called out.

"Damn it....!" Carol heard Kayde cry behind her, and she turned.

"Kayde, are you okay!?"

The boy nodded grimly, raising his right hand. It was tied with layers of bandages, but it had been reattached. "Thanks to Fenri, my hand's okay. I can't use it for battle though." The boy nodded to Rathius close by, who snorted back in response.

Ramadel, now healed to an extent by Fenri's magic, had went on to join the fight against the remaining witchfiends with a few other knights, supporting Andrei. Jand, a bit further away, had killed one of the centipedes, but was being pushed back by the remaining two, injured all over by the witchfiend's legs and sharp shells.

Just then— a shape leaped out from the roofs and landed in the field. It was Estelle and James riding on Fourier in his fox form. Angela, flying into the scene as well, went straight towards Jand where he was fighting the centipedes.

"Rathius, take James and fly towards the Flugel's Tree! It's the White Whale!" Estelle called towards the dragon.

Welp, time to conjure that ballista.

 

Snort back and head for the Flugel's Tree.

 

"Back off!" Dive towards the scene and shout at Jand.
Then, when he backs off, summon another Ur Fula, this time at the centipedes.

 

(This is pretty messed up. Read at your own cost.)

–——This is the story of a nameless girl.......

20 years ago, the girl was in the southernmost part of the Vorkir Empire, where the public order was the least maintained, where the Emperor's authority was the thinnest.

The girl was born in a poor family with seven children, with a mixture of human and various demi-human blood. The girl had inherited the abilities of her ancestors, with sharp and elongated teeth, insane reflex speed and agility, and a sense of intuition that matched those of a wild beast's. Her family was in a state of poverty, and in the end, sold three of their children including the girl to the slave market when she was only 5. Seeing the three siblings' demi-human abilities, they were sold then by the traffickers to a colosseum which carried on slave gladiator fights for entertainment.

The girl, the oldest, was named Rey. Her younger siblings, the boy was named Loy, the youngest girl was named May.

The man who ran the colosseum was the lord of the region, named Darius; who was known in the area as the «Gluttonous Lord». The man bought slaves from all over the place, sent them to the colosseum to make them fight, always watching amusedly from the highest floor.

There were rumours..... rumours that the «Gluttonous Lord» Darius took the bodies of the dead slaves, as well as those who were still alive but couldn't fight, straight to his mansion where he ate them. Not metaphorically.... physically devoured the slaves. His ran-down mansion was always sending out the odour of beasts and blood.

Rey, Loy and May were all thrown into the colosseum, where they killed, and killed, and killed, for years. With their enhanced abilities of demi-humans, they swung their short swords around, clawed at the enemies' faces, and ripped them apart with their teeth. The three of them survived in the harsh environment, getting to know fellow children who were trapped in the colosseum, and worked together to kill, kill, kill.

————And then—————

One day, when Rey was ten, three people arrived at the colosseum.

One was a young boy with a slightly purple-tinted hair, with dark red eyes. «Sloth» Rigel Belphegor Barialle.
The next was a tall redheaded woman with electric blue eyes and a massive scar on her face, «Wrath» Annabelle Satan Hestiria.
The last was a black-haired black-eyed boy wielding a black scythe, «First Generation Scythe» Aldebaran.

Rigel used his «Authority» to seclude the colosseum and everyone in it from the outside world in a barrier of illusion.
Annabelle circled the entire colosseum in a wall of red flames that prevented mana interventions.
And Aldebaran brought Darius to the centre of the colosseum.

"–———CURSE YOUUUU!!!" The shout, the scream of the enormous fat man echoed as he shouted towards the three figures who sat at the seats of the colosseum. "WITCH CULTISTS, DAMN YOUU!!! YOU PROMISED YOU WILL LEAVE ME ALONE WITH MY «AUTHORITY»!!!"

"......time to change generations, Darius." The youth, Aldebaran, told the fat lord coldly. "We deem you unworthy of your Authority and Genes."

"I WILL KILL YOUUU!!!!"

"Hah, you're too weak, «Gluttony»!" Rigel laughed, brimming with evil intent. "Ironic, when the original Witch was so strong! Ahaha!!"
The boy leaned forward, grinning. "This is the gladiator fight you've always enjoyed. We will pick your successor from your collection!!"

At that moment, the doors to the arena opened all around, and every single slave imprisoned in the facility—over two hundred of them, rushed towards Darius.

* * *

Rey fought amongst the other slaves, this time working together with them. However.......

Darius fought by transforming his body into different parts of animals, using abilities of people he had physically eaten. He was powerful——adapting enormous mouths on his grotesque, enlarged body, he cut apart and devoured the slaves as they approached. Still, the slaves were trained and were fierce fighters——eventually, Darius was overcame with the sheer numbers. But even then......

Almost an hour later, Darius sat alone in the centre, amidst a mountain of bodies. Covered in the slaves' and his own blood, Darius was near death as he breathed heavily. He had massacred everyone——or so he had thought.

Rey slowly opened her eyes, and experienced despair. In front of her laid two small bodies, of Loy and May, unbreathing, ripped off from their waist down by Darius's tentacles. She herself had lost both her legs, but was still--and barely, alive.

In front of her sat the culprit, the fat man who ran the colosseum. Emotions—human feelings Rey had lost when she became a slave—welled up once again inside her; despair, frustration, wrath. With her final strength, she leapt up with her arms and bit into Darius's open neck, and ripped it off.

«Gluttonous Lord» Darius died at the moment................................

........and a black thing was ejected from the man's body, a slick, blood-like substance that emitted a powerful, evil aura...... and........
The thing fell down over the girl who had killed Darius, Rey, and covered her entire body.

Converting her into something else.
....into a monster.

But the thing, the Genes of «Gluttony», didn't completely adjust with her. And inside her, a new being was born.....

When the three Cultists came down to the bloody arena, with Rigel looking around excitedly, with Annabelle making an uninterested expression, with Aldebaran making a slightly disgusted and sad expression, they saw a single girl rise on both her feet before the body of Darius.

"...........it's a success, Al." «Wrath» muttered, to which Aldebaran nodded back.

"What's your name....?" He asked to the girl, who had a haughty and empty expression on her face.

"......Rey. Just Rey."

Aldebaran smiled weakly. "....is that so. Welcome Rey, to the Witch's Order. The sixth addition to the Cardinal Sins.... I grant you the title «Gluttony», and the name 'Beelzebub'."

Recruiting, am I right?

 

An occupation interview. Al and Anna are basically the examiner. Rigel and Acrux come and go as guests. They did this for Bella and Rikuld as well xD

 

When Rey opened her eyes, she immediately felt the pain.

The dull, immense pain that filled her with an unbelievable amount of suffering. She started to scream——but bit down on her arm, hard, just as she saw what was going on around her.

Knights. Witchfiends. Dragons.

Everything around her scared her. Looking closely, she saw the two people who helped her from the traffickers, Andrei and Jand in the distance, fighting against witchfiends.

........Ah.......I did it again.........

The 'Beelzebub' inside her had been wreaking havoc until now. Rey had clear memories of what was happening—the blonde female knight cutting her in half, brimming with killing intent. The pain came from her waist—she didn't have a lower body.

.......it was the Genes of «Gluttony» that kept her alive.

........Why was it that she was alive? Why couldn't Beelzebub just be killed? Why did she always survive in the end?
In the past, when Rey had control of the body, she tried many ways to get Beelzebub out of her head. But every time she made connections with others, witchfiends ordered by Beelzebub immediately attacked her, killed the new acquaintances, killed Rey, and got back control. Over twenty years of her unaging life this happened countless times—to the point where she gave up—where she gave up on living.

Perhaps the most important part of her died when Loy and May died.

I...... want to die........

But her healing factor extended from her body and attached itself quietly with her lower body. The black substance that was her «Authority» crawled over her skin, where it passed was made clean and was healed from the burn wound. She felt her pain slowly easing.

She looked around—people all around, people everywhere who wanted to kill her.
She was scared.

Ever since the fight with the previous «Gluttony» 20 years ago, she couldn't bare being directed to killing intent. It filled her with panic, made her head go blank. Her animal instinct wanted to live, and run away, when she herself very much wanted to die, to be freed from this suffering. This contradiction hurt her so much.

She bit harder into her arm to not let out the sound of her voice as she was filled with frustration.

.........Please, god....... please help me.......................

 

I assume we just keep fighting?

 

Just in case.

 

Don't die on us Amun!

 

ok cool guess i wont be doing this anymore. (Maybe?)

 

A revive has been cast.

 

It is the 23rd...

 

Bump before 1 month limit is up.

 

Should we even be bumping this anymore?

 

*shrug*

 

There isn't really a point as @Amun_Ra can always revive it, right?

 

The god of sun shall rise once more another day. Until then, praise the sun!
